NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the trial of a man charged with setting off two bombs in Manhattan, injuring 30 people (all times local):

11:05 a.m.

A verdict has been reached in the trial of a New Jersey man charged with planting bombs on New York City streets, including one that detonated and injured 30 people.

The federal jury deliberated over parts of two days before announcing a verdict Monday in the trial of Ahmad Khan Rahimi. It will be read shortly.

The 29-year-old Elizabeth man has been held without bail since his arrest two days after the September 2016 attacks in Manhattan. He is also accused of planting bombs in New Jersey that didn’t hurt anyone.

The Afghanistan-born man chose not to testify.

Rahimi’s attorney Sabrina Shroff has urged jurors to acquit Rahimi of three charges that could cause a mandatory life prison term. ___

Jury deliberations have resumed at the trial of a man charged with setting off two bombs in Manhattan last year, including one that injured 30 people.

The New York jurors said they were close to a verdict after deliberating about two hours Friday at the trial of 29-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahimi, of Elizabeth, New Jersey.

They got back to work again Monday.

The Afghanistan-born Rahimi is charged with setting off a bomb in the Chelsea neighborhood that injured 30 people. He’s also accused of detonating a bomb along a charity race in Seaside Park, New Jersey. No one was injured in that case.

His attorney has said he should be acquitted of at least three of eight charges.

Rahimi was captured in September 2016 after a shootout with police in New Jersey.

A jury that says it’s close to a verdict will resume deliberating the fate of a man charged with setting off a bomb in Manhattan last year that injured 30 people.

Jurors will return to work Monday morning in the trial of 29-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahimi, of Elizabeth, New Jersey.

The Afghanistan-born Rahimi is charged with setting off a bomb in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood that injured 30 people. He’s also accused of detonating a bomb along a charity race in Seaside Park, New Jersey. No one was injured in that case.

Prosecutors say he was inspired by the Islamic State group and al-Qaida to plan the bombings.
